This Molyorbital™ set contains sufficient parts to make 14 easy to self-assemble atomic orbitals. It is ideal for learning about the shapes of atomic orbitals. Pink and purple coloured pear shaped lobes represent the + and - wave equation phases of the p and d atomic orbitals. The atomic nuclei are represented by opaque white spheres. Each model comes with its own individual colourless transparent base for display purposes. Approximate model heights including base are: s-orbital 5cm, p-orbital 9cm, and d-orbital 8cm.

Contents of the Molyorbital™ atomic orbitals kit

The contents are contained within a plastic storage box. The 81 components are enough to make the following models

1s orbital

2s orbital

the three 2p orbitals

the five d-orbitals

a model showing the unhybridised s and three 2p orbitals

the two sp hybrid orbitals

the three sp2 hybrid orbitals

the four sp3 hybrid orbitals

The Molymod™ system is the original, unique, dual-scale system of high quality low-cost molecular models. These enormously popular sets are ideal for college use but are also used by scientists all over the world. The Molyorbital™ sets complement the Molymod® sets also available from within this shop.

Important notice: Molymod® and Molyorbital™ molecular model and orbital products are scientific educational and visualization aids, and consequently are not suitable for children less than 10 years old.

With each order we'll send you a free silky periodic table bookmark and a free glossy laminated postcard sized periodic table for your noticeboard!
